Your to angery to notice that he did. You also ignored the quote from Vice President Dick Chaney.

Re: Census finds record gap between rich and poor

President Bush grew the deficite by almost double. How does that NOT qualifiy him as a massive spender and expander of the federal government.

If you want to talk deficit then President Clinton must be your favorite President.

Bush had a lot of help raising that deficit and not sure if you get the news where you live but Bush has been out of office for 2 years. Bush and Congress added 5 trillion to the debt in 8 years, Obama and the Congress have added 3 trillion in TWO years. If you are worried about the Bush debt why do you support Obama who has put Bush spending on steroids?

Of course you don't because you don't understand the difference between private sector and public sector stimulation and where the meaningful jobs are created. Reagan and Bush promoted the private sector with their spending and Obama promoted the public sector. When you promote the public sector the taxpayer pays for it, when you promote the private sector the consumer pays for it. Obama supporters don't get it.

I am a small business owner (wife does most of the work) and someone who works in a firm full of lawyers, economists and managment support personel. As I have been employed in this field for over 15 years I can tell you that I understand the difference between private sector and public sector more than most. I suspect more than you. I can also tell you that very little of what President Bush did was for the small business owner. If your Exxon, Enron or Monsanto they you profited greatly. Middle class america, inlcuding small business owners, did not prosper like you think they did.
